How tall is Taylor Swift ?

Taylor Swift's height is 5ft 9.5in (177 cm)

American Singer known for songs such as Shake It Off, Love Story, I Knew You Were Trouble and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. She said in EW.com "I'm 5'11'', so when I wear heels, it's definitely a really good view that I have. I'm like 6'2 when I wear heels, so I tend to wear cowboy boots a lot," although in 2013 in a Vanity Fair article she is quoted saying: "I think what I would mostly be looking for in a guy ... is someone who sees me in my actual dimensions: 23 years old, five-foot-ten". In 2015 she made a claim that "I grew an inch [in the past year], which means I'm the latest developing human in the world."

@Just
Her heels aren't 6 inches. They're more like 4.5-5 inches with a half inch to an inch platform. This is how a 6 inch heel looks like:Click Here
So they wouldn't give her anywhere near 5 inches. Here's a better pic of her with Adam who would be around 6 foot with shoes on:Click Here
She's clearly taller than him. And Blake would be about 6'5" or close with shoes on and she only looks 3 inches shorter than him. And Blake's feet apart don't really change anything. Only a very small difference. Watch this:Click Here
She is 5'9.5". Deal with it.

Just says on 28/Mar/15
With 6 inches platform high heels still 3 inches shorter than Blake (who stands loose, legs apart). And with 6 inches platform high heels the same height as 5'11 Adam. She's 5'8"5, 5'9 morningheight.

Bishop says on 27/Mar/15
That's not a good picture, grizz. It's not static and appears to be tilted. Here's a better one: Click Here
I have no idea what he's wearing, though.

Its not even a full 3" difference with 5'5" Lorde while she has the higher ground!

OMG says on 19/Mar/15
I met her last month and she's 5'11 no heels. and I'm 6'1, I just measured my self in the clinic.

Mon says on 16/Mar/15
Why oh why do people think Taylor Swift tells lies about her height as if she was a short vain male actor. She is a tall young woman. It is beneath her, like all these naysayers.

Nani says on 14/Mar/15
Taylor Swift is 5 foot 10 duh.

burtmacklin says on 11/Mar/15
176 max. Only looks so tall because of how slim she is and the massive heels she constantly wears.

keny says on 10/Mar/15
Sharapova is 186cm

Silent_D says on 10/Mar/15
176cm.

Elizabeth says on 8/Mar/15
What i thought she 6ft some
thing

Tania says on 8/Mar/15
@dom: Even then, Sharapova didn't grow at the rapid rate of 1 inch per year. She was a little over 6'0" (maybe 6'0.5") in 2004, and she looks a weak 6'2", maybe 6'1.5" now. It took her two years to get that 1 inch of height.

But Taylor Swift growing a whole inch from 24 to 25 - nope. Like you said, growth in early 20's in possible but not to the extent Taylor claims.

184.3cm says on 7/Mar/15
21 is really the end..if anyone grows after that then they are a tiny fraction of the population less than 1 percent ..thats for a man as well most men are done round 18 years old. For women its 16 years old, as women mature quicker and round that period 13-17 years old they can actually be taller than young men who then shoot past them as they get a late growth spurt. Ive never seen a girl grow as late as 18 years old, like ever.

dom says on 6/Mar/15
@liftdetector. Those facts, are on average. That doesn´t mean there aren´t outliers which happens more often than you´d think. Sharapova didnt stop growing until 19. Growing until 25 is nonsense but someone growing into their late teens, early 20´s is not unheard of.

LiftDetector says on 6/Mar/15
@S says on 3/Mar/15

Yeah, it's BS she grew at around 25. According to Duke University: "On average, females are done growing around age 12 to 14, and boys around age 14 to 16." So her claim contradicts medical science. Same goes for people who claim Justin Beiber grew or is still growing at his age of 20+ -- which total nonsense.

Once puberty is over, so is growing. The cartilage in between your joints (growth plate) starts to become sealed, and creates a line in between. This happens in almost every bone, excluding your hands, and skull.

Height183 says on 5/Mar/15
@Just5ft7: Indeed... She was shorter than Harry Styles back in 2012! It has been proven over and over again that Harry is no taller than 5'8.5'' - 5'9''.

Yet she is still listed taller than him! but whatever, I'm not having a go at anyone. It just BAFFLES my mind.

Greg says on 4/Mar/15
Thanks @just5ft7. I always think that Taylor is so tall and then I see her with Karlie...

Bishop says on 4/Mar/15
@S
That's because she hasn't grown an inch unless she has a pituitary tumor. It's obvious she just measured herself wrong. 5'9.5" seems like a good estimate on her height. It was always obvious she was never 5'11".

Vegas says on 4/Mar/15
her waxwork is in madame tussauds in london and new york so someone here should measure themselves and post a shot standing next to it.. Click Here

Just5ft7 says on 3/Mar/15
Taylor's claims of her height do suggest that she really wants to be (at least) as tall as models.

@Height183 I totally agree with you. I think that's because they're all Taylor Swift's fans. Even with hard evidence there's always an excuse like: it's the camera angle. She stands loose... But so does Karlie.

@Greg, Here are more pictures of Taylor with Karlie. Even with (at least) 3 inches high heels, Taylor is still 3 inches shorter than Karlie in flats. Click Here

I think Taylor truly believed that she's 5'10. But since she's hanging out with a true sixfooter (Karlie), Taylor realised that she isn't as tall as she thought to be. That's why she's now not wearing cowboyboots anymore. Instead, she's now always wearing sky high platform heels, so she wouldn't get dwarfed by tall girls like Karlie or Ireland. Click Here

@miko There's no way that Taylor can reach 6'2 in high heels if she even can't reach 6'1. Taylor is only Karlie's height, as Taylor is in high heels with platform and Karlie bending her knees and head.

Instead of downgrading Taylor's height to 5'8"5, it's been decided to upgrade Karlie's height. It's not a realistic upgrading, since Karlie is very close in height with Ireland Baldwin and Toni Garrn (both 6') and there is for sure no 4 cm heightdifference between Karlie and Toni. Click Here

S says on 3/Mar/15
I don't think she has grown one inch, she is 25, isn't it?

Tania says on 1/Mar/15
That claim....hahahahahaha.
Link to where she said this, Rob?

184.3cm says on 1/Mar/15
Nothing short of laughable..next to 5'7 Katy Perry both in heels Click Here

Lorne says on 28/Feb/15
What I. The hell is wrong with her? Next she'll be claiming she's lost height, down from 6ft1 to 5'11 and change... ;)

miko says on 28/Feb/15
She always wears big footwear, she's easily pushing 6'2 in some of her heels. Add in her skinny frame and she can look huge.

Greg says on 27/Feb/15
Yes that is possible

grizz says on 27/Feb/15
@Bishop, maybe she used that Alexander method(or whatever it's called) to improve her posture. I heard it's very popular among celebrities,especially performers.

Bishop says on 26/Feb/15
@Grizz
Maybe she measured herself in the morning and thinks she grew or maybe her posture just got better over the year. Very rare for a man to grow after 23 let alone a woman! Believe it or not, though, she actually did kind of claim 6ft on Tumblr once: Click Here
Look at the hashtags "#6ft tall elves". lol

Greg says on 26/Feb/15
Is it possible she was 5'10 and has reached 5'11 in the past year?

Greg says on 26/Feb/15
Hey rob thanks for the response on my comment! How tall do you think she was before she grew then?

[Editor Rob: I don't think she has grown, or she had an earlier measurement or slightly incorrect one which made her think she grew.]

Hypado says on 26/Feb/15
Taylor Swift's height is 5ft 9.5in (177 cm)

5ft 9.5in or 5ft 9.75in for Taylor.

grizz says on 25/Feb/15
But on a serious note, if she claimed 5ft10 in 2013, basically now she'd claim 5ft11, a figure she claimed at first.
In order to claim this height, she must be at least 180 out of bed. So, 178 or 5ft10 might be her actual height.
Which might explain why she didn't seem much taller than Lautner back in 2010.

Or, if we live in the real world, she wrongly measured her height.

grizz says on 25/Feb/15
Bishop says on 24/Feb/15
In this radio interview, she claims she's grown since 2013 (2:33 and onward). Wtf? Wasn't she 23 in 2013?
-----------------------------
LOL, wut?? I'm just waiting for the moment she starts to claim 6ft.

Bishop says on 24/Feb/15

Greg says on 24/Feb/15
Did anybody see the article today where she says she is still growing?

[Editor Rob: yeah the quote is "I grew an inch [in the past year], which means I'm the latest developing human in the world".]

Dave says on 22/Feb/15
Rob, how many inches do you think these gave her at the Grammy's? Click Here

[Editor Rob: that is a steep angle, I think maybe pushing the foot to max tip-toe range so with a 1-inch platform on it and her foot size I'd say it's going to give her 4 inches of height.]

Bishop says on 22/Feb/15
@Greg
The current listing seems perfect to me. At times, she might stand a bit looser and can look shorter. I've posted a lot of pictures of Karlie and Taylor more than 2 months ago (I think it's still there) and there is really no more than 4 inches between them.

Ally says on 21/Feb/15
Most sources say she's 5'11 but she probably looks taller because she's slim as well. So maybe 5'9-5'10, still a good height.

Greg says on 21/Feb/15
@bishop what do you think her height is?

Greg says on 20/Feb/15
@abhishek do you have any more pics of them?

Height183 says on 20/Feb/15
Out of all the listings on the site, this has got to be the most bizarre one to me! When I say this, I don't mean any disrespect to Rob and the posters. I just still don't understand this listing. But there's got to be one height for everyone that you won't completely agree with right? This is the one for me.

Bishop says on 19/Feb/15
I love how people overuse the word "tower" in this site. The only time where I would consider someone "towering" over someone else is if you can see over their head. Fallon definitely did not tower over her. Anyways, the video is really bad to judge height from. It's obvious they're dancing and jumping around. And when they pose together, they're clearly bending their knees and backs. I saw the show myself (Maybe it's still on Jimmy's site?) and when she walked in, she was wearing 4 inch heels and looked about the same height as him. Jimmy is listed at 5'11.5" so he would be 6'0.5" in shoes (And we all know the thick heels that Fallon wears). So she would still be in the 5'9-5'9.5" range.

Josh says on 19/Feb/15
Jimmy Fallon is taller than her wearing 2 inch heels she´s not over 5´8

Dionisio Rojas says on 18/Feb/15
@Tiger: Exactly. I was going to post the same. There are some pictures where she looks smaller than his Bf who is 176cm.

abhishek says on 18/Feb/15
karlie is so much taller than taylorClick Here

Kresh says on 18/Feb/15
Taylor is somwhere between 1.74 to 1.76m, anything else is too much.

Just look at her with Jimmy Fallon recently, he TOWERED over her.

wat says on 18/Feb/15
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-nkRBlqHzA

Here she is in heels, as usual, dancing with Jimmy Fallon, and she still looks shorter than him, or at most the same height. They're not standing up straight, they're jumping around, but she definitely doesn't look taller than him. 5'9" to 5'9.5" is probably right.

Greg says on 18/Feb/15
I'm still going with 5'11. Did you see her at the Grammys?

lions says on 17/Feb/15
She is a tall girl.

grizz says on 15/Feb/15
Oh come on, no way she's 5'11. 5'11 Kimmel was with lifts only 0.25 inch shorter than Taylor with some 3in heels.
In every photo of her with 5'9.25 Styles she was shorter. Take into consideration he constantly wore boots and Taylor hat flat shoes, so 177 is right again. Finally, in Valentine's Day she was doing her best not to look taller than 5'8.25 Lautner, but with 5'11 that would be impossible.
177 is spot on for her.

Tiger says on 15/Feb/15
Hey Rob you list harry as 176cm and in pictures taylor is shorter than harry so rob think about it

Greg says on 14/Feb/15
I think she's 5 ft 11. She was downgraded to 5 ft 10 around the time she started hanging out with Karlie Kloss and her friends, many who are well above 6 ft.

vfpswiftie says on 9/Feb/15
With the image of Taylor and Hozier that Bishop posted, this proves that she is indeed at 5ft9-5ft10 because of their height difference of approx 4 inches with her wearing heels that gives about 3.5 inches of height.

CC says on 7/Feb/15
I'm 5'10"-5'11", and the reason I give that range is because every time a doctor or nurse has measurred my height in the last ten years (shoes off btw), they've always given me a different number...!!! It's one hundred percent feasible that she would provide her most honest educated guess, just like I do every time someone asks me... :)

Barefoot on beach next to 5'5 listed Lorde...who has crappy posture and yet still doesnt look more than 4 inches smaller. She is 5'9-5'9.5 max.

SAMMY DERRICK says on 4/Feb/15
Taylor Swift(5'10/178cm)

vfpswiftie says on 24/Jan/15
To prove that Taylor is at least 5ft9, search for a photo with Reese Witherspoon.

ice says on 24/Jan/15
It seems a few people have the shoe conversions backwards. I wear a women's 8.5 US, which converts to a women's 6 UK. Here is a proper conversion site. Click Here

Girl almighty says on 24/Jan/15
If Taylor is 5ft9.5, how is Harry 5ft9.25 (don't know if that changed, haven't checked)

esmat says on 23/Jan/15
To some of the people here saying that she is 5'11. Please look at the photos of her with the 6'1 karlie kloss at the AMA. If taylor swift is 5'11 then karlie must be 6'4 because she is 4-5 inches taller than her in lower heels.I would say that she is most likely about 5'9 or 175. Taylor seems obsessed with looking like a model the past couple of years so I wouldn't be surprised at all if she's lying about her height.

harry says on 23/Jan/15
Why is she taller than Harry on here when he towers here when they were together?

vfpswiftie says on 23/Jan/15
Rob, why do you list people who claim 5ft10 like Taylor or Iggy as 5ft9. ?

[Editor Rob: I believe they can look that range. There's very few people who say 5ft 9.5 compared to those who would say 5ft 10, but at least many (if not a bit more) in the real world who would measure at 5ft 9.5 as 10.]

Sal says on 21/Jan/15
I think your assessment of perhaps 5'10.5" morning height might be right Rob. Women generally don't lie about their height unless they are trying to be models. Most actually round down so if she said 5'11" and 5'10" somewhere in the middle may be accurate.

vfpswiftie says on 15/Jan/15
Rob do you think she ever hits 5ft10?

[Editor Rob: I think she would clear that mark out of bed.]

Girl almighty says on 12/Jan/15
Possibly 5'10 morning height?

[Editor Rob: even nearly 5ft 10.5 out of bed is possible]

Laura says on 11/Jan/15
@little sue- I suppose that is your measurement in heels but no one else I have known gains that little height from heels. My friend is a US 4.5 ( I believe that is around a 3.5?)and gets the same amount of height from a heel as me. But everyone is different. @ Jewel there are plenty of heels out there that give 5 inches and more.

littlesue says on 11/Jan/15
Laura I have got posture, I go with Rob says about gaining height in heels, if you read below he says the smaller the foot the less the heel may give. I tried this with my mate who has a size 7 and she got 1/4 inch more out of the height of heel than I did in identical shoes

Bishop says on 10/Jan/15
@Jewel
Some large heels can give 5 inches. This heel is described as 6.5 inches and has a 2.5" platform and should give around five inches of height depending on your foot size, according to Rob: Click Here

Gav says on 10/Jan/15
She's not over 177 (if even that, she's skinny hence makes her seem taller) but i doubt she's under 5'8. Maybe 5'8'5 at her VERY lowest but not anything less.

MM says on 10/Jan/15
Yeah, that seems accurate, but don't those platforms that Taylor's wearing in that vma pic almost look like the same heel as these that Jenny's wearing, which didn't even give her 4 inches but almost? I'd think those shoes would give Taylor about 3.5 inches of height. What do you think Rob? Click Here

[Editor Rob: they are close, but remember Jenny has a size 5UK (so like 4US) foot so doesn't quite get as much height as swift who would get a small fraction more if using the same type of heel.]

Jewel says on 10/Jan/15
no heel gives 5 inches

Laura says on 10/Jan/15
@ little sue- wow I have never heard of someone gaining that little height from heels. Perhaps it is your posture? I don't think it’s the size of the foot to how much height you gain from a heel, I myself usually wear a US 6, sometimes 6.5 and have very narrow feet , and my friends & sister who have all measured their heights in heels have feet sizes ranging from US 4.5 through to US 9.5...and all their results came up the same as mine, almost always only lose half an inch tops of the actual heel height. I think Rob's guide regarding heel height gains is one of the better ones out there, and is more accurate than most others. Maybe just double check that you have measured yourself right in your heels as well :)

MM says on 9/Jan/15
Rob, just curious...how many inches of height do you think she has with these shoes on? Click Here

[Editor Rob: with her long foot those might give a little over 4 inches of actual height.]

Lalla says on 7/Jan/15
Don't know if it's been posted already, But I was reading her interview with Vogue UK and they said ''Taylor's looking tall, standing at 6ft with her huge ysl heels' or something like that. if she's 6ft with huge heels, she's probably shorter than 5'105'11. I'd say 5'9 at most

littlesue says on 6/Jan/15
Maybe what you gain depends on the size of the foot?? I have size 3 (UK) shoes, If I wear 5 inch heels with an inch platform I only gain about 3.5 inches. If I wear a normal 3 inch heel with no platform I gain about 1.5 inches. The smaller the foot the less there is at the front so you don't seem to go up so much at the back.

Laura says on 5/Jan/15
@ Just sorry some of my last comment I forgot to put in- half an inch subtracted from the heel height is the general rule of heel height gains (so like I said in my last comment, 6" will give you 5.5") but there are exceptions. In some heels I have (both with platforms and without platforms) I gain all the height bar 1cm. The biggest difference I have had in heels is 2cm, but those heels were too big for me so perhaps that was why, and another pair which were 5.5" heels without a platform which ended up giving me 1.5cm less than their advertised height. But apart from those pairs, I have never had anything bigger than half an inch difference. Some heels you can actually get all their advertised height, especially those huge 90s platform shoes.

Laura says on 4/Jan/15
@ Just- Re heel heights, I have read numerous guides of what heels give in height but I have found that most are inaccurate. I have measured all of my heels heights, and then had myself measured in all of them, (in heel heights ranging from 3.0"-6.5", with platforms and no platforms)and have found that when I am wearing all of them, even the ones without a platform, I gain almost all the height of the heel bar half an inch. So in my 6.5" boots, I gain 6" in height. In my 5" heels, I gain 4.5" in height, etc. The guides that say you only gain 3.5" in 5" heels are not right at all. My sister and some friends have also done the same as me and come up with the same result, so it isn't just me. If you see a heel height on a shoe advertised as being 6", you will get 5.5" from it. Hope that helps.

Alex says on 4/Jan/15
Not above 5'8.5 probably

Calisurf says on 2/Jan/15
Yah I met her she's definitely five eleven cuz I'm five ten and she was just barely taller than me.

Bishop says on 1/Jan/15

This is not a 3-4 inch difference:Click Here
She's wearing about 4 inch heels and please keep in mind that heels don't give what they advertise :)
Go read Rob's Heel Height Truth for a better understanding.

@Me no offense but how dare you say shes between 5'6" 5'"7 shes wont even go below 5'8"

Look at all the pictures and videos of Swift next to Ryan Seacrest which is listed as 5'7'' 1/2 and he even have joked about being told that he's short. Swift is no more than 3 ot 4 inches above him wearing heals. She have to be between 5'6'' and 5'7'' which surprises me because i also though she was talleR, being too skinny makes her look longer.

Rob, I don't know how to tell how many inches heels would add to someone's height and how to estimate heights. For example, is here Click Here more than four inches height difference between Taylor and Karlie? In this picture no one is slouching Click Here (Karlie's even in disadvantage, she has her legs apart). Don't say they are exactly the same height and that this is caused by the camera angle.
Karlie has, I think, 3 inches heels with no platform. And Taylor has, I think, at least 6 inches heels with platform Click Here How many inches those heels would add to their height? And what does this say about their height difference?

AndrewS says on 30/Dec/14
She's not 176cm for sure. !74-175 is about right.

Jewel says on 30/Dec/14
Tyler would be 6ft

Laura says on 30/Dec/14
@ Jewel but Aisha Tyler's height is highly speculated as well. Aisha is around the same height as 5"9 Louise Roe, she definitely isn't 6"0.

Silent_D says on 29/Dec/14
Sorry taylor is never taller than 6 foot 1 karlie kloss. She is always much taller than taylor. 176cm.

Jewel says on 28/Dec/14
on the view taylor and aisha tyler were a hair line apart in height. taylor had on 5-6 inchers aisha had on 4inch max. So id put taylor @ 5.11

vfpswiftie says on 26/Dec/14
@Just She can hit 6'2" because Ive seen her 2012 interview with David Letterman and he's listed as 6'1.5" and she's wearing heels that gives her about near 4 inches and letterman is wearing shoes that probably gives him and inch and they're the same height. Also Taylor can be taller than Karlie Kloss, it's just that she has poor posture and slouched shoulders which slightly negates the additional height that her high heels gives her.:)

Bishop says on 26/Dec/14
@Just
Cleese is a definite 6'4" today and 6'5" at peak as Rob has listed. So if they are both 6'4", they would be 6'5" with shoes on and she looks about 3-4 inches shorter than them. KP only looked taller than Cleese due to camera angles. In this pic that someone posted on Cleese's page, KP is closer to the camera and they look about the same height: Click Here
So if anything, John was a shade taller. The platform doesn't look 2 inches to me. More like 1.5 inches. Typical high heels described as 6 inches would usually give 4-4.5 inches in height. How does she look just 6' there? Graham Norton is 5'9" in shoes and she is clearly more than 3 inches taller than him. You always have to take other people's footwear into account, which usually adds about an inch.

Just says on 25/Dec/14
@Bishop Here is the show Click Here and at 2:51 minutes you can clearly see Taylor is wearing 6 inches high heels with 2 inches platform. She's about 4 inches shorter than John Cleese (who I doubt is really 6'4 now. I think he has lost height, because between the three of them Kevin Pietersen is the tallest and he's really 6'4). But let's say John is still 6'4 with shoes, so Taylor is 6' (6'1 tops and I'm being very generous) while wearing 6 inches platform high heels which would give her 5 inches height. So Taylor is 5'8"5 tops. Still tall for a girl though. And no, I don't want Rob to downgrade her; he can just keep her at 5'9"5 if he likes ;-)
@vfpswiftie No offense but Taylor had never been 6'2 in high heels. Even in huge high heels Taylor's still shorter than 6'1 Karlie Kloss in flats. Taylor is tall at 5'8"5. Not taller not shorter.

Bishop says on 23/Dec/14
Rob, are you sure her brother is 6'3"? Because in these pics, she's wearing like 4 inch heels while he has shoes on and they look about the same height: Click Here

[Editor Rob: when standing together and she's in heels he really does look taller than her.]

vfpswiftie says on 21/Dec/14
@Bishop. I'm glad you've seen it. That was the best proof that she can be 6ft2 in decent high heels which means she is 5ft9 at the very least and possibly hits 5ft10

Hetty says on 21/Dec/14
in her defence she can reach 6'2 at her nearly 5'10 height with some decent heels.

Bishop says on 20/Dec/14
@vfpswiftie
I saw the show. She could look about 3-3.5 inches shorter than him. John Cleese is listed 6'4" so he would be 6'5" with shoes on. Kevin Pietersen was also there and he's 6'4" as well. And they all towered Graham Norton. Though, I'm not sure what size heels she was wearing since the table was covering it most of the time and she was keeping it to the side. But they looked to have a platform (Not out-of-the-ordinary large). So 5'9.5" seems like a legit listing. Ansel Elgort is listed here as 6'3". In these pics, he's wearing shoes (would be around 6'4" in them) and she's wearing 4 inch heels (gains about 3 inches from them) and she isn't that much shorter:Click HereClick HereClick HereClick Here

@Height182
At a Neighbors premiere, he looked nearly the same height as Seth Rogen and about 3 inches taller than Christopher Mintz-Plasse XD. I wouldn't say he would just wear them at public events. If he's going to be on show with a girl taller than him, it might have been the right time to wear lifts. Either way, he still looked to have a footwear advantage with her.

Have you seen the interview of Taylor at graham Norton show? Shes wearing high heels and looks 3 inches shorter than 6ft5 John Cleese

Height182 says on 18/Dec/14
@vfpswiftie: That's true, I wasn't thinking of it like that. Well Zac is around 5'8.5'' with his hair up and boots, So I think Swift is 5'8.5'' and nothing more.

@Bishop: I do agree, but I think he wears them at premieres and big public events.

Bishop says on 17/Dec/14
@Height182
Efron is a notorious lift-wearer.

@Height182 she was wearing ballet flats and zac is wearing quite thick shoes and his hair is up :)

Height182 says on 16/Dec/14
After seeing her next to Zac Efron on Ellen, I think she 5'7.5'' Max. Her huge heels and slender frame will not fool me.

edk says on 16/Dec/14
She needs a downgrade. I believe she is 1.75 cm tall. I mean come on, just look at the pictures with Harry styles whos 176 cm tall. Shes not taller than him thats for sure

Laura says on 15/Dec/14
@ Mon- I am not saying everyone is shorter by 2-3 inches than what Rob says, and I certainly don't think that. When did I say that? Like @Just said, I only said I think she is 5"8.5 tops, which is only 1 inch below this listing. And I have seen Taylor in real life, and I came up over a couple of inches higher beside her than what I do my sister (who is 179cm/5"10.5) and I was in flats and she was in little heeled boots (probably around 1.5"). And you can make up all the excuses all you want, photos taken from any angle show that Taylor's heels are quite a bit higher at the VS fashion show than the model's. And your argument with heel height makes no sense, Ariana Grande was up on stage at the VS fashion show not just walking and standing, but dancing in 6.5" Louboutin boots. I can walk and dance in 6" heels without stumbling or falling over, and I am sure that Taylor Swift, an experienced high heel wearer, is capable of much the same. And I think Taylor wanted to be within the same height range as most of the models at the show, that's probably why she wore higher heels this year than she did last year when she performed. And I am well aware that TS is a singer and not a model who needs to be booked, that doesn't mean she doesn't exaggerate her height though. Personally I think she isn't over 5"8.5, but that's my opinion.

carver says on 14/Dec/14
Rob, in 2008 she was the same height as ashley simpson, did she grow after 18?

[Editor Rob: really not sure as only in 2009-10 did I look at her firstly.]

Rob, any idea on how tall is Taylor's brother?

[Editor Rob: can look near 6ft 3]

This is the last piece of evidence I'm posting. With a questionable 5'9.5" Iggy Azalea: Click Here
If you don't include Iggy's hair, Taylor is clearly taller. Their footwear: Click HereClick HereClick HereClick Here
Hopefully, this will get rid of the 5'8" claims.

Mon says on 13/Dec/14
Taylor's image is that she is well above average, she says she is a strong 5'10'', and yet most biz people who actually meet her find her to be taller than expected. She has a seriously tall brother so 5'10.5 is possible with perfect posture. On the walk across the studio on 'Ellen' she had height minimising deportment and was in had rock bottom shoes but was taller that 5'8 Zack though he must have had 1 inch footwear advantage.

Bishop says on 12/Dec/14
Found this video on Gigi Hadid's instagram:Click Here
Taylor is the one with the white shirt and the blue sleeves. Here she is decorating with Giga Hadid, Cara Delevinge, and Kendall Jenner. They're all wearing socks. The video is moving way too fast to tell how much difference there is between them. But if you can pause at the right moments, Taylor is taller than Kendall and possibly the tallest one there. Kendall looks the same height or slightly shorter than Gigi and the shortest is obviously Cara, who is standing on the couch. The camera distance and movement may affect things, but I thought it was interesting to show.

Just says on 12/Dec/14
@ Mon, Laura didn't say that Taylor is 2-3 inches shorter than Rob says. Laura said Taylor is 5'8"5 tops, while Rob has put Taylor at 5'9"5, that's only 1 inch difference. Taylor did claimed 5'11, but she later corrected herself and said she's 5'10. Between 5'8"5 and 5'10 there's only 1.5 inches difference.
Insanely high heels at VS show? Yes, Click Here those heels have at LEAST 2 inches platform.
It's not about being booked, but everybody wants to be the modelheight: 5'10. Tall people (male or female) are considered more beautiful, that's why Taylor always wears miniskirts and shorts with high heels.

Recovered Data says on 12/Dec/14

Mon says on 9/Dec/14

Whoops, my previous comment was a little confused. I meant to say:- If Taylor is no taller than 5'8.5'' she is actually claiming to be a full two and a half inches taller than she thinks she is. Moreover a Rolling Stone journalist who spent time with her thinks she is 2.5 inches taller than she actually is and WolfMan the 6'3''security guy on this page who stood next to her thinks she is 2.5 inches than she actually is.

I could believe they are all one inch out because she is slim and a superstar status can make you seem larger (even to yourself perhaps), but there are limits. And there are limits to what height heels you can walk in. Some heels are more for photoshoots than walking in the street. Do you really think Taylor Swift is so desperate for height that she would mean insanely high heels on stage? Well you apparently do because you said "I personally can see nothing less than 3 inches between Taylor and Karlie on the runway, and Taylor's heels are quite a bit higher than all of the other models heels.

'Quite a bit higher' than VS show models' heels would be an insanely high. Women fall flat on their face wearing heals like that, sometimes literally.

Laura, in the name of all that is good and true in this world please stop saying that people are 2-3 inches shorter than Rob says. Carla and Kate are professional models and as such have every reason to put out a false height and wear ridiculously high heels at a show yet they are only 1.5 inches shorter than their agency stats. Taylor is not as tall as she says but she isn't so deluded as you would have to be to say she is 5'11' when she is under 5'9''. The girl is a not someone who has to be a certain height to get booked, she is a star who happens to be tall. 5'9.5''

Laura says on 9/Dec/14

@ Bishop that is okay sorry if I came across like that as well. Lots of women and men inflate their height, some by more than 4 inches. I have friends who are 5"7 and 5"8 and they claim 5"10 when they are clearly not. Blake Lively claims 5"10 when she clearly isn't over 5"8. I personally can see nothing less than 3 inches between Taylor and Karlie on the runway, and Taylor's heels are quite a bit higher than all of the other models heels.

@ Mon Kate Moss definitely isn't 5"7, I have met her and believe me she isn't over 5"4, and she got extremely lucky in the industry. As for the VS models Lily Aldridge is under 5"7, Miranda Kerr is around 5"6 and Candice isn't over 5"7. Alessandra isn't over 5"8. All their heights are just inflated, its usually by about two inches but sometimes as much as 5 inches (yes, I have seen it happen). And someone who is 5"8 can look very tall in 5" heels, seeing as their height is over 6"0 in heels. Plus, Taylor is very thin so again she gives the illusion of looking taller than what she is. I am a little confused by your comments on heels & height- your actual height has nothing to do with how you walk in heels, and also if you know your heel heights and styles, it is very easy to gage how much height one is gaining from a particular pair of heels. In my opinion, Taylor 5"8.5 tops.

Mon says on 8/Dec/14

Bishop gave a fair selection of photos, and does not stake everything on one single photo and pretended ability to determine exact measurements to the inch from photos. I think it is clear Talor in heels stands well over 6 foot. While people do often claim to be taller than they are and can look taller than they are there are limits. If Taylor is no taller than 5'8.5'' she is actually claiming to be a full two and a half inches taller than she thinks she is, a Rolling Stone journalist who spent time with her thinks she is, and WolfMan the security guy on this page thinks she is.

Those people couldn't all be that wrong! She is 5'9'' for sure, and possibly a strong 5'10'. 5ft 9.5in is right on the money. I see Bishop has written much the same.

Bishop says on 8/Dec/14

@Just

Look at all the pictures I showed below. There is no more than a 4 inch difference between them. I even showed pictures where Taylor was at least an inch taller than 5'8" listed Lily Aldridge, 5'8.5" listed Jaime King, and no more than half an inch shorter than Behati Prinsloo. I don't think she's 5'11", but I don't think she's below 5'9", as I doubt she would lie by her height by more than 2 inches due to the "Hollywood 2-inch" rule. Camera angles, postures, sloping/uneven ground etc. can affect things by more than you think. In other pictures I've seen of them in VS fashion show, I can see about 2 inches between them in those heels. And Taylor usually holds worse posture than Karlie in photos I've seen with them. You may not agree with Rob, but I think you're trying way too hard to downgrade her to 5'8.5" even though Rob said he's not going below 5'9", no offense.

Just says on 7/Dec/14

I agree with Laura. I really used to think Taylor was 5'11, she really looked very tall. But since she's been photographed with Karlie Kloss, I've noticed the big height difference between them. The height difference between them is too big for Taylor to be taller than 5'8"5. My cousins are the same height as Taylor and Karlie are listed, but their barefeet height difference is the same as Taylor in high heels and Karlie in flats.

Later on, in pictures with 5'9 Katie Holmes, Taylor is either as tall as Katie or shorter than Katie, but not taller. In the video with 5'9 Doutzen Kroes, Taylor also was shorter.

Bishop gave a lot of excuses about camera advantages, Taylor had her head down, Taylor was not standing staight. But Karlie slouches even more than Taylor. Adriana was bending her knees AND leaning back. No one was really standing straight, so there is no disadvantage for Taylor.

Taylor however is very slim and a smart dresser. She frequently wears high waisted shorts or skirts with high heels (with platform) to elongate her legs, so she looks taller than she really is. She's still quite tall at 5'8"5. I know Rob believes she's 5'9"5, but I don't agree with him.

Bishop says on 7/Dec/14

@Laura

Sorry if I was a bit rough. And I'm not trying to change your opinion. I just find it ridiculous when people say she is 5'8" or even 5'7". Who would exaggerate their height by 3-4 inches? And I didn't find the photo good for comparison due to poses and Taylor was the furthest from the camera. As for the photo you were talking about, I know Taylor's platform is slightly higher and Karlie is holding slightly worse posture, but Taylor still has her head down in the second photo I posted. I can understand why you would think she is 5'8", but it's just that she has terrible posture and her head is always down which makes her look shorter. After all those photos I posted, I can't see more than a 4 inch difference between them. In the runway, I could see a 2 inch difference between them and in the last photo you posted, Karlie, again, has a camera advantage. And the difference really isn't that much. I saw another photo of them walking backstage and the difference looked about 2 inches as in the runway. I can accept 5'9" flat for her. Not lower, though. Just my opinion. Cheers!

Mon says on 7/Dec/14

Again Laura , you can't tell what heels are adding to height with the half inch level of precision. You can't. But you can always work backward to estimate what the difference in height would be if you were right, and then say that is what you 'clearly' see.

You seem to be saying top model Swanepoel is 5'7', but Kate Moss is the only top model I know of who is that size.

Taylor was furthest from the camera beside top VS models in their catwalk heels and she looked around the same height as most of them (and slimmer than all of them). It is very very unlikely anyone around 5'8'' could look that tall without heels so high she would have trouble walking without looking clumsy. No question Kloss, a woman 4 inches taller than the average man,xceeds Taylor by a considerable margin, but Taylor in heels approaches Kloss's height in photos of them walking on the street, and shoes worn in the street are unlikely to be even adding 4 inches.

Laura says on 7/Dec/14

@ Bishop- It don't think it is that bad of a picture, I was using it mainly to compare Kloss and Swift's height. I know they are posing but my point was if they were standing up straight there would be more of a 3" difference, it looks more around 4", and Swift is still in higher heels. I don't get what you're saying, with the 5.5" would be difference between them. If TS is 5"8, she'd be 6"1 in 5.5" heels as they give 5" in height with a platform (I've measured my sister and myself in our 5.5" heels and we both gain 5" from them). Kloss wouldn't be over 6"4.5 in those heels, so Swift would only be 3.5 inches under Karlie, which she looks about that in these photos. If she is 5"8.5, she'd be 3" shorter, which she barely manages in these photos. I am just stating my opinion on the matter and thank you for all the photos, a few I hadn't seen before but I still don't think she is over 5"8.5. I think you are understating the height difference between Taylor and Karlie a little, no offense. In those first two photos Taylor's heels have a *slight* platform and Karlie is slouched lower than Taylor is. If they were both standing up straight I see a clear 4" difference. I am aware of camera advantages etc but sorry, to me there is enough evidence IMO to suggest she is under 5"9, certainly not by much but still. @ Mon, a 5"8 girl in 5.5 inch heels with a platform does not look short next to models where the majority of them are in the 5"7-5"9 range in 4" heels with no platform. I know this isn't the best pic but if you look here: Click Here you can see neither Swift or Kloss are standing up straight again, but if they both were, there is a clear minimum of 3" difference between them.

Bishop says on 6/Dec/14

@Laura

For some unknown reason, my comment to you was deleted...

Mon says on 5/Dec/14

Laura you can't tell what heels are to that level of precision. Re. your pic. The girls are all at least 5'8'' or taller and in undeterminable high heels. Taylor is furthest from the camera and looks ultra slim but not short (as evidenced by Swanepoel and the one on the end's nearness to the camera making them look unnaturally huge in the torso and head) yet while posing beside top models Taylor still looks comparable to all of them despite being so far back. A 5'8'' girl would look small bodied and short back where Taylor is, yet though she looks very petite in the body and head but Taylor is really quite tall looking there despite her being the greatest distance from the camera. I am more certain than ever she is five nine and a half.

Bishop says on 5/Dec/14

@Laura

That is not a good picture at all. They are clearly posing and the difference looks more like 3 inches instead of 3.5 inches "at the minimum". Also, in your photo, Candice has a huge camera advantage and she is about 5'8-5'8.5". Even if the difference is 2 inches on the runway, then Karlie would be about 6'4-6'4.5" in 4 inch heels so 2 inches shorter would still make her tall in heels (Keep in mind that heels don't give what they advertise). Anyways, so if she is 5'8" as you are saying, then she would be 5.5 inches under Karlie. Let's take a look at some photos:

In these two pics, Karlie has a camera advantage. If they were the same distance from the camera, then they would be about the same height (or close). You really think those heels give Taylor 5.5 inches?

Taylor in heels (NOT platforms) and Karlie in sneakers (also adding height). Not very good photos since Taylor is closer to the camera and the ground is tilted, but enough to show the difference is not 5.5 inc- hes.

In these photos, Taylor is in heels and looking about the same height or close in height to Karlie in flats. Maybe if people concentrated on camera angles and sloping sidewalks, then they would have understood it better. Here's another pic: Click Here

It should be noted that Taylor is closer to the camera in this pic and Karlie does seem to be at a ground disadvantage which is why Taylor looks taller, but I highly doubt it would make up for a 5.5 inch

I know that these may not be the best photos, but it's enough to prove my point. Sorry if I made this post too long. As for her height, I agree with Rob, 5'9-5'9.5" respectively. Also, for reference, with 5'8.5" listed Jaime King (same size heels): Click Here

Neither Kloss or Swift are standing up straight, but Kloss is in 4" heels with no platform. TS is in no less than 5.5" heels with a platform. Even if they were both standing up straight, Kloss would still be at the bare minimum 3.5 inches taller than Swift, even with Swift's higher heels. Also in the photo beside Swift is Candice Swanepoel, who is well known in the fashion industry for being under 5"8 and is in lower heels than Swift. And in those pics of Kloss and Swift on the runway is nothing less than 2 inches between them. After seeing TS in real life and based on the photos I keep seeing, I don't think Taylor Swift is anything over 5"8 (which is still tall).

I will never get this listing of 5'9.5'', I will never understand it...

rmv says on 3/Dec/14

either she is a max of 5'9" or taylor lautner is underrated on here by about an inch. in valentines day they are both wearing sneakers and appear to be the same height. no way is she a full inch taller than him

Karlie is listed here as 6'1.5" and is wearing four inch heels so she is obviously gaining height too. And their feet are oriented pretty close. And yes, I am aware that she has higher heels than her, which I clearly acknowledged in my post -_-

Adriana has a camera advantage, Taylor has her head down and doesn't look to be standing straight. So she is at least 5'9" and Rob already stated he isn't going lower than that so there's no point in arguing. She looks around the same height as Behati (who looks around 5'10" in pictures with Adam Levine):

@Bishop Not even close. Even with the very high, compensated platform highheels, Taylor is still at least 2 inches shorter than 6'1 Karlie. Taylor is with these special compensated platform highheels the same height as 5'10 Adriana who's in normal highheels.

vfpswiftie says on 2/Dec/14

yes. victoria's secret fashion show proves that she's 5'9" at minimum

Laura says on 2/Dec/14

@ Mon, @ vfps swiftie, I have looked at numerous of pictures of them together because after I saw Taylor I was interested to see her height compared to Karlie Kloss. She does come close to Kloss's height when she is in very high heels, but she is still around two inches shorter. I haven't found any photos which they are dead set the same height and are both standing up straight/ or in same stance/pose.I honestly don't think she is any taller than 5"8.5, but that is my opinion.

Bishop says on 2/Dec/14

With higher heels, she looks very close in height to Karlie: Click Here

Igge says on 2/Dec/14

She looked more 5'9 at the Victoria's Secret Show from tonight

vfpswiftie says on 29/Nov/14

@Laura dont forget the photo of Taylor and Karlie at last year's VSFashionshow. Taylor's head was down a bit but shes about 4 inches shorter and Karlie must have grown taller and be 6'1.5" at that time. Clearly she is 5'9"-5'10". Her poor posture and always hunched back makes her appear shorter

Mon says on 28/Nov/14

"I have never seen a picture of Swift and Kloss in heels being the same height" Of course. Kloss is 4 inches taller. But there is a photo of them in the street with only Taylo in heels and she is looking around the height of Kloss. Here is a tip, when you look at a photo image search for all the ones taken on a particular occasion.

In other shots of that stellar group on the bench, Uptons heels do not look small at all, Taylors were moderate by comparison; not larger than Upton's, and she is 5'10''. Taylor Swift has to be at least 5'9''.

MM says on 28/Nov/14

Jimmy Kimmel is what, 5'11? She's wearing massive heels or platform heels here, and there's not that much difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pKvpYIqHRk And here's a pic of them, I barely see a half an inch difference. She has to be at least 5'8-5'8.5. Click Here

Mon says on 28/Nov/14

She can't possibly be under 5'9''. A Rolling Stone journalist (not a star struck fan) who actually spent time with her said she looked significantly taller than the 5'10'' she said she was.

Who wears 5 inch heels to go walking in the street?; Taylor much more likely had around 4 inch heels walking outside with Kloss. Some of the photos were on sloped sidewalk ect. There is a shot taken on that day from in front (ie equal distance from the camera) when both was on the level in street. Taylor had around 4 inch gain from heels, and Taylor looked around the same height.

Just says on 27/Nov/14

In some pictures with Katie Holmes, Taylor seems like Katie's height. But in most pictures with Katie, Taylor is certainly shorter than Katie. Even in similar heels Taylor is shorter than Kate Upton Click Here

Laura says on 26/Nov/14

@vfpswiftie - I don't know if you have ever met or seen Taylor yourself, but I am just giving my opinion of what I saw. And I have never seen a picture of Swift and Kloss in heels being the same height, ever. The only time I have seen them look almost the same height is when Taylor has been in 5" heels and Kloss is in flats with her head down. My sister is 5"10.5 and when she is in 5" heels, she is never under 6"2.5 but actually measures exactly 6"3. My point is if Taylor were truly 5"10, she'd be taller than Kloss and if she were even 5"9, she'd be nothing less than the same height as Kloss. But she isn't.

vfpswiftie says on 25/Nov/14

no @BGee that's a tricky shot.Taylor is the same height as Karlie when wearing heels. She is 4 inches shorter than Karlie when both of them are in high heels

Mon says on 25/Nov/14

Taylor is 4 inches shorter and consistently looks it Karlie is 6'1.5'' so both seem as listed. Look at her with Kloss on the catwalk with both in heels or with Taylor in heels and Karlie in Nike frees. Taylor is over 5'9.5''

BGee says on 24/Nov/14

Best guess is 5'9 flat (not 5'8 as some claim, she still has an inch on 5'8 Rihanna). if she was 5'10 o 5'11 she would be near Kloss' height (especially in this pic w/ those heels Click Here) but is still smaller by about 3 - 4 inches even when Karlie is in flats!

vfpswiftie says on 24/Nov/14

no. she could not be 5ft7. her lowest could be 5ft8.5

she's as tall as karlie kloss in heels can't you see. the photo you saw probably has the camera angle which makes taylor appear shorter

184.3cm says on 24/Nov/14

@judd

Yeah i know, i have a better understanding of heels now that i read Rob's article on heel height. Taylor tends to wear the classic 6 inch heels which give more 4-4.5 inches. Ive seen her wear a platform a few times to get additional boost but she has also appeared in flats like she did on Ellen and looked about 5'9 there.

Laura says on 24/Nov/14

Harry Styles is taller than Swift. If he is 5"9.5, then she is about 5"8. I have seen Taylor in real life and she gives the illusion of being taller because she is extremely thin and fine boned. In all honesty, I would give her 5"7 minimum and 5"8.5 at the very most (she was wearing little shoes with heels when I saw her). If you also look at pictures with Karlie Kloss you can tell she isn't 5"10 or even 5"9. She is still 4 inches shorter than Kloss in 5" heels (so she would be gaining 4" in height from 5") when Kloss is in flats. Taylor is certainly above average height, but she isn't as tall as what she makes out.

Judd says on 23/Nov/14

@184,3: a lot of women think that if you wear a 4" heels than you gain precisely 4" in height...

I think with normal heels she's lesa than 6'1"...

Mon says on 22/Nov/14

You can't say 'in heels', it depends on the actual size of the heels, which I don't think you can judge that accurately. She wears a variety of size heels, and appears variety of heights depending on what heels she has on. But it you look at her in rock bottom footwear with Harry Styles there is no question in my mind that to maintain that both their listed heights here are accurate you would have to claim he had a surreptitious set of subtle lifts inside his shoes every time he was with her. The footwear on show would not explain it. I'm inclined to think he is the one taller than his listing, by around half an inch.

184.3cm says on 22/Nov/14

If she was really 6'3 in heels like some suggest here then she would have been max 2 in under John Cleese on Graham Norton. Reality was different 3-4 inch difference Which puts her more realistically at 6'1.5 in heels. So she is 5'9 range i disagree by a cm or 2 but listing is fair.

Judd says on 21/Nov/14

If Katie Holmes is 5'9" as here she's listed and as i think, the taylor can't be under 5'9.5"!

vfpswiftie says on 21/Nov/14

@Just FYI Taylor is not shorter than Katie Holmes. I've examined the photos and in some they are the same height and in some Taylor is taller

Sean says on 21/Nov/14

On reflection other women have seemed much bigger than their self claimed height to reporters in articles I have read. Nonetheless, Harry Styles a while back consistently had more height on Taylor than is compatible with visible footwear and posture, given their respective listings here. As they are apparently back together and he his of an age to have gained a little in the interim, there may be some interesting photos. I hope people don't start screaming about lifts.

Mon says on 20/Nov/14

Just, While Taylor seems happy about her height and even accentuates on occasion, it can't be got around that reporters who have met her are surprised enough by her size to make a point of mentioning how tall she looks . A Rolling Stone interviewer said she looks taller than 5'10''. I don't think she would get reactions like that at just a shade over 5'9''. My point was that you usually have to worry less about a tall woman adding to her height

Just says on 18/Nov/14

@Mon There are women who like compliments like: you're so tall, you look like a model/you should be a model. So even women who aren't models, don't mind the modelheight. She's very slim and always wears skyhigh heels, so she looks taller. I'm slim too and people think I'm 5'9 while I'm just 5'7. If she really is 5'11, then Katie Holmes must be 6' tall, because Katie is taller than Taylor. Just look up images of them.

Mon says on 18/Nov/14

I think Harry Styles height has to be an issue as she looked smaller than him. "Harry Styles's height is 5ft 9.25in". Well when they were photographed together he had a hat on top of his big hair so he may steal a little. but he did not look shorter that Taylor Swift, though he did have had bigger footwear on when he was photographed with her, while Taylor had no- heels shoes and looked slightly smaller.

OK it is possible Rob is right, if Styles is indeed almost 2 inches shorter than he claims and is boosted by big shoes and big hair, but my feeling is that Taylor is a very strong 5'10''. Unfortunately, that would mean Styles is 5'10''.

At LEAST an inch over 5ft 9.5in . BBC interviewer on radio today couldn't get over TS's height and called her the biggest and TALLEST star in the music business more than once times. She must be taller than 5ft 9.5in Iggy Azalea. 5ft 9.5in is tall but you wouldn't someone that height the tallest female star in the business.

I think you have to remember that tall women in showbiz don't want to be thought too tall, unless a girl is a catwalk model being over 5ft 9 is not adding to her appeal. Unlike a man, Taylor wouldn't be adding value to steal an inch or two. If she says 'I'm 5'11' she probably is. A man her height would surely claim 6 foot.

Ivan Xavier says on 15/Nov/14

I think 5'10 is more accurate

grizz says on 14/Nov/14

WolfMan,if your height is genuine,it's still possible for Taylor to be 177 or 178 cm tall. With 6 inch heels she would be around 192-3, exactly an inch or less shorter than you,as you wrote. I'm more and more convinced that she's a genuine 5ft10. With normal heels she's about the same height,if not even a smidge taller than (supposedly) 186 cm tall Sean O'Pry in Blank Space.

WolfMan says on 12/Nov/14

was working security at an an award show that will remain unnamed. Taylor Swift was wearing heels. I stood within 3 feet of her. Im 6'3 without shoes. I was normal running shoes and Swift was I'd say no more than an inch shorter than me. Im about 6'4 & half with shoes. I'd say with heels puts her at 6'3. I think she is probably 5'11 barefoot.

Arch Stanton says on 10/Nov/14

The fringe does her no favours though David. I preferred her a few years back, check out the Def Leppard videos...

David says on 8/Nov/14

Taylor is quite goodlooking.Her middle name Alison would have sounded better as a first name.Taylor?sounds ideal for a surname but for a first name a bit strange.Have heard of a singer called Raylor Dayne in the 80's.Anyway Taylor does look tall in music video's especially on 'shake it off'.She looks 5ft 11 easily on it.

She Looks HUGE she looks easily as big as a typical 6 ft 2 guy in shoes IMO

Adam says on 3/Nov/14

She's super tall in heels and she's looking better than never.

Arch Stanton says on 2/Nov/14

@Silent. Yeah but you're forgetting that Letterman in shoes would be more 6'2.5 if 187 barefoot.

a2 says on 2/Nov/14

she looks at least 5'10 next to carly simon

Silent D says on 1/Nov/14

She looked close to 180cm on ellen and the late show with david letterman. I know she was in 4 inch heels but she was same height as letterman, who is 187cm. 176cm.

Hypado says on 30/Oct/14

Taylor Swift Looks 176/177cm, no more, no less

Arch Stanton says on 27/Oct/14

Looks too tall in heels next to Cleese to really be lower than this.

grizz says on 26/Oct/14

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVAfR3QjFKo&list=UUa6vGFO9ty8v5KZJXQxdhaw she's as tall as 5ft11 Kimmel with some 3inch heels. So, 5ft9 might turn out correct after all.

Chris says on 20/Oct/14

Why are people here so obsessed downgrading everyone even guys in 6'7 range? I never saw anyone being upgraded. To me she looks like a 5'10 to 5'11 woman she's about as tall as 5'11 Behati Prinsloo and taller than 5'9 Lily Aldridge.

hey rob, it is really impossible that taylor is over 5. 9 (174- 175), look at this video, she is clearly smaller than mick jagger ( today he is maybe 5. 9,5) stop at 0: 35. Jagger is 3 or 4 cm taller, taylor is maybe just 5.8,5... what do you think... ? Click Here on this pictures of the concert you can see that they have similiar footwear... taylor is cool but not tall ;)

vfpswiftie says on 16/Oct/14

So Rob you really think that she can be 5ft9 flat but not below that? I also think that she can really hit the 5ft10 mark, what you think?

[Editor Rob: I've left her at the 5ft 9.5 because at the moment that has been my best guess.]

Just says on 15/Oct/14

@jerome Taylor may be taller than 5'8 Rihanna, but Taylor is still shorter than 5'9 Doutzen. See Click Here Stop at 12:25. While Taylor standing straighter than Doutzen (you can see Doutzen is bending her knee a little bit and also holding her head a little to the left) and wearing heels with the same height, Doutzen is still (maybe one inch?) taller than Taylor, no matter the camera angle.

She's 5"8 at most. She is very slim but go watch the youtube on Victoria's Secret fashion show.shes shorter than Alessandra ambrosio who is supposed to be 175.

vfpswiftie says on 11/Oct/14

rob, do you think that there's any chance she's below 5'9"? i personally think that she's does not go below 5'9". she has just poor posture and sanding loose.

[Editor Rob: there are times where you go 'this girl can look barely 5ft 9', but I believe it is just occasions she isn't standing that well. You could still argue she was 5ft 9 flat though, I wouldn't dismiss that possibility.]

Aman says on 9/Oct/14

She is 5'10 people, she is very tall, stop trying to downgrade her.

Maddy says on 4/Oct/14

Such a beatiful height! She can be a supper model if she wanted to. (She kind of already is.)

184.3cm says on 30/Sep/14

More like 175cm since she lives in heels. 12cm heels = 187cm hence her im like 6'2 gibberish.

It looks like her height is pretty close to Ed Sheerans's, which in this site is marked as 5ft 7.75in. Ed probably had some inches with his sneakers, but she doesn't look like she is wearing flat shoes either (from the shadows, you can see short heels)

[Editor Rob: it's harder to tell when she is a bit further away from the camera.]

Darren510 says on 16/Sep/14

I use to think 5'10 now 5'9ish. I wonder why she claimed 5'11. Usually tall girls downgrade themselves

pete says on 13/Sep/14

surprised by this listing. i still think shes closer to 5'8.5 or just 5'9, especially next to karlie kloss. well, either way, shes still very tall for a lady.

lelman says on 13/Sep/14

175cm, weak 5'9". She's real slender and wears heels a lot, so she can look 5'11" - but I don't think she's much taller than 5'9", if at all.

spainmen says on 13/Sep/14

Rob maybe its time for a little downgrade?I think 5ft9.25(176cm)will be better as you had said she looks between 5ft9-9.5 and sometimes inclussive she can look just 175cm,177 is to much for her I think.

evil says on 12/Sep/14

i don't understand rob, you have listed taylor as 177cm, and i think is right, but harry styles as 176, are you kidding, have you seen thei pictures together, harry is at least 2cm taller than her. I think that styles is 179-180cm, taylor 177, mybe 176 at least , stop downraging styles

Jay says on 9/Sep/14

I agree with Jerome. Anything below 5'9 is pushing it.

Jerome says on 5/Sep/14

shes taller than Rihanna in every picture

Jerome says on 5/Sep/14

shes taller than Rihanna who's listed at 5'8 in every pic

Height181 says on 28/Aug/14

Absolute Max I give her is 5'8''. She was around the same height as Zac Efron who is 5'7'' himself. Go to 17 seconds on the video Click Here SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES PEOPLE! Lol

Jay says on 28/Aug/14

I would love to see her next to Zendaya and Kendall Jenner. I got a feeling they would be noticeably taller then her.

grizz says on 23/Aug/14

Taylor is 5'8 or 5'8.5 . Shots with 5'9 Katie Holmes prove it. Still, a perfect height for a woman, especially with her slender looks she seems much taller.

krissy says on 15/Aug/14

5' 9 is too much rob, i would say 5'7.5 or 5'8 barefoot

Jenny says on 13/Aug/14

Upon further review it looks like Katie and Taylor are the exact same height. So theyre both 5'9"

Jenny says on 12/Aug/14

In the recent pics with Katie Holmes, Taylor Swift actually looks an inch shorter than Katie and they are wearing the same height in heels. This proves without a doubt Taylor is no more than 5'8".

@Genevieve I don't know Behati's height. But Lily is NOT 5'9. She's short for a model. Even in sky platform high heels she's about 2 inches shorter than 5'9 Doutzen Kroes Click Here Lily's, again in sky high platform heels, shorter than 5'8"5 Alessandra Click Here I think Taylor is about Alessandra's height: 5'8"5.
